driving and insurance
despite what anyone may tell you, american insurance is not valid in mexico. you must have mexican insurance to be protected there. of course, you can always drive without mexican insurance, but if you are in an accident, your american insurance will be of no good to you.as a practical matter, this means that if you rent a car in mexico, you are wise to sign up for the insurance even though, as in the united states, the cost is likely to be ridiculous.if you are crossing the border from the united states into mexico, there are offices of an insurance company named sanborn's right on the border where you can get mexican insurance.
